    Default Solved: pyro song

    I heard this song on the radio in the late 90's to early 2000's about a guy running around starting fires. the last words in the song were somthing like "i looked down and in my hand was a match" The song was I would guess rock or alternative. But that is all I know! and i have been trying to find out the name and singer for a while.

    Thanks for the help

    Try this by MC 900 Ft. Jesus - The City Sleeps (early 90's)

    He's classically trained, turned to rapping but with a mix of hip hop. This track looks into the mind of a serial arsonist.

    Last verse:

    The match makes a graceful arc to the floor
    And time stands still as I turn for the door
    Which explodes in a fireball and throws me to the street
    I hit the ground running with the flames at my feet
    Reaching for the night which recoils from the fire
    The raindrops hiss like a devilish choir
    Dying in the flames with a terrible sound
    Calling all the names of the sleepers all around
    But then in the arms of the night, they lay
    Their dreams, sprout wings and fly away
    Out of the houses in a gathering flock
    Swarming overhead as I hurry down the block
    I make my escape with the greatest of ease
    And savor the darkness, drop to my knees
    And the lightless window, my hand on the latch
    I reach in my pocket, and pull out a match
